Didn't know what to do, so I mounted my 189's 0.5 forward of the line and am happy there. For what it's worth, I'm sure I would be happier at recommended than I would be at +1.
The skis are so...

Curious if anyone else has had success mounting the 189cm QST 106 forward of the line. I see the 189 has a recommended mount point of -8.2, whereas the 181 version has a recommended mount point of...

Sorry for slow responses.
Protests are sold, Enforcers are available.

Thanks for the info! Yeah it's bizarre that the R10 wants to hook up more than the R9, but that does seem to be consensus amongst those who've skied both.

Hi all, been quiet on the forums this season as sadly I'm slowly recovering from a hip (labrum) injury.
On that note, I'm selling off my skis and will move to lighter skis for next season to help...

Damn. So you're saying the 2024 R10 is still a bit noodle-y compared to the R9 and R11?

I'm dying for them to make a more stable and slightly less hooky R10 to use as my "it hasn't snowed in a...

I've owned the same year-model Bodacious 196 and can vouch that it's an amazing ski.

Friday was killer! Had a blast on Tuesday as well, but was at Alta rather than Snowbird.

Yeah I still ski my Enforcer 115's most days and that will probably continue to be the case even after...

Not sure, just thought I'd give my two cents.
I'm 6'4" 185lbs with a 28.5 boot, and I just felt I had a bit too much ski in front of me relative to how much was behind me.

I felt like I could...

Finally got out on my 4-Flex 192 Protests today at the Bird in 13" fresh. Mounted them 1cm behind recommended.

Obviously preferred mount points are subjective, but my preferred mount point on most...

Yeah Utah has been firing!
If they don't sell, I'll happily take them out during any future dry-spells.

Plan is to sell them and put the money towards improving my touring gear though.

I liked them, but I just find myself going out on my wider/more rockered skis regardless of conditions.
I think it's fair to describe the C98 as a slightly lighter, slightly looser Bonafide....

UPDATE - SOLD

$400 flat
Bought these at the end of last season. Waxed em up and spent three days on them.
Mounted with Pivot 15's on the line for a 325mm BSL (28.5 boot). I'd prefer to keep the...

Anyone driving up to Alta/Snowbird any days this week willing to give me a ride? I'm visiting family but don't have access to a car. Gotta get that pow! Can meet you somewhere convenient for pickup...

Really curious how you find the 191 M102 at +1 and +2.

After selling you my M102's, I bought a pair of 188 Commander 98's to try something a bit lighter and nimbler.
The C98 is a fun ski, but I...

I mounted my M102's on the line. If I could do it all over again, I would mount them +1. If +2 was the only option, I'd do it and not look back.

I would never mount the M102's behind the...

Very useful thanks! Sounds like M-Free is way looser, especially in tight spots, and while the M-Free doesn't necessarily have as much composure as the E115, it's plenty stable in crud/chop. Much...

Big comparison question for ya Banditman:
Enforcer 115 vs. the 192cm M-Free 108!

I was speaking about it relative to the Atris, not the WC.

The powder returned to Utah yesterday and the E115's were fantastic. So fun and loose in the powder, even in the lower-angle stuff I was finding in PC:

They are also fantastic skiing the...

All ya'll are giving east coasters a bad rep...
#sad

So you demo'd a bunch of skis and really liked the Atris.
Sounds like you found your ski!

From what I understand, the Deathwish is stiffer and looser than the Atris, and the DW needs a bit more...

Yeah the pro model does seem like a bitttt too much ski for pretty much any inbounds conditions in the US.
Where'd you shoot that vid?

Great info. 2018 Bibby one of my favorite all-time skis as well.

The only reason I've never tried the Deathwish is that being a lanky 6'4 185lbs, I haven't wanted to get any farther...

Thank you kind sir!

Super curious to see a rocker shot of that C98 ;)

Yeah I think the G3 glue issues are a thing of the past. I have the Alpinist+ Glides, and I'm very happy with them

pm'd

Seconded! Super curious about the new C98 and would love to hear more people's experience on it compared to other ~100mm-wide metal laminate skis.

Been thinking about it as a low-tide ski for the...

Anybody been on the Wren102ti and care to comment?

In particular, I'm dying to see some photos of their rocker profile

Moment Commander 118!

Interesting - the 2017 Bonafide 187 is one of my all time favorite skis.

On the new Cochise, do you find a big enough difference in off-trail performance versus those Bonafides? Would you say the...

Great review! Sounds like you've found a winner for your style.
Curious what other skis are claiming the other spots in your quiver.
Also curious what other 10X skis (besides the Corvus) before...

I think those are actually the OG shape and layup with metal. Great ski.

The tweeners that lots of people hated were these ones: https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/blizzard-bodacious-2016

My brand new pair of 192's have almost no camber

I've got some Alpinist+ Glides that might do the trick

I'd be happy on any of these as an all-day pow-day ski at Alta:

Nordica Enforcer 115
Salomon QST Blank
Blizzard Rustler 11
Dynastar M Free 108 or 118
Moment Wildcat 118
Black Crows Anima

Mounted on the line with pivots. Mount point feels good. I think it's -8? I guess I'm used to more rearward mounts, because when I looked down at my feet, my first impression was that I might not...

Just got on the Enforcer 115's for the first big storm of the season at Alta.

Great inbounds pow day ski.

Plenty of float, very intuitive, and surprisingly loose in the untracked pow.

More...

191's arrived.

Thanks to everyone for your info on these skis. I want to return the favor based on the very limited amount of time I've had on them so far.

Me: 35 years old, athletic, skiing...

I was told by a Nordica athlete that the 115/Pro had two sheets of metal in 2020, and then changed to one sheet of metal in 2021 without any indication of the change in their marketing materials. I...

Great intel here. Bibby one of my favorite skis as well.

HAB - are you happy with the Bibby on the line? And the Protest at minus 1?

Thanks for the pics - super stoked!

Really interesting here. Maybe it's just my eyes, but in these pics it almost looks like the tail rocker line is longer than the tip rocker line.

Just lifted this M102 rocker profile shot off of backcountry.

While certainly low-slung, they actually have longer rocker lines than I had previously thought based on pictures I'd seen...

That's a LOT of rocker on the M-Free 99 - bet it's real fun in tight places. Curious to hear how you like them when putting the pedal down in open terrain.

Y'all are getting me into some trouble. Trigger pulled on the 191's. Will report back!

+1 to Banditman's Q
I'm very interested in the 191's

Seems clear that the M102 is heavy, damp, stable, and a great combo of edge-hold plus release-ability on trail, windbuff, and chalk. Also...

Very curious what makes you grab the HP's vs. the Cochise 106 and Enforcer 110?

Those BMX HP's collecting dust??

Majorly need some new goggles if there's one more code floating around!
